Syrianska's best chance came moments after the start of the second half when Abgar Barsom combined with a teammate to get in on goal, and despite finding himself one-on-one with Halmstads goalkeeper Karl-Johan Johnsson, the Swedish midfiedler managed to fire a shot over the crossbar from eight yards out.

Syrianska won the possession battle but both teams were aggressive offensively throughout the match however neither managed to capitalize on one of many scoring opportunities.
